    This web site is named Signs101. Of course people are going to ask questions. The name of the website implies that it is for entry level questions. "History. The slang sense of the number "101" originates from its frequent use in US college course numbering systems to indicate the first or...
  7. How To question - Metal Sign ??

    I have had plenty of customers that are so cheap that they want to reuse shitty panels. Yes, as a sign professional I know better but if I don't do what the customer asks, they'll go to my competition and have them do it. A lot of people take for granted the areas that they live. Not everyone...
  8. Not sure how to handle 3rd party job not picked up

    I say throw the other sign guy under the bus ASAP and contact the business that the sign belongs is for and explain the situation. They may still want that sign. If that guy hasn't responded to you yet, he won't most likely walked away from the whole deal.
  9. People asking for logos...I'm getting irritated

    I used to have a customer that would call me once a month and ask if I could send his logo to random places. Some of these places are my competition. I did it that quite a few times. I finally told him that I'm going to send the file to the other companies and I'll send it to him so he has a...

    Hello. I am trying to find the correct name for this kind of sign. It is outdoors. I'm assuming it is plastic. The letters are plastic and are slightly raised. I need to source a couple of these out but I don't know what to call these signs or where to look for a vendor. Any help would be...

  15. Do you laminate your plain vinyl lettering?

    I'll sometimes laminate Gold vinyl before cutting.
  16. New Blade, Bad Cuts

    The speed is at 20. It's not cutting super fast and the cut is consistent. It is cutting evenly but it's either too much pressure or not enough. It's super frustrating.
  17. New Blade, Bad Cuts

    Nope. With Mimaki the increments between 20 and 100 move by 5's. Once you get over 100 it then moves by 10s. Under 20 moves by 2s.
  18. New Blade, Bad Cuts

    I've done exactly what you said. Let's say I start at 30 for the pressure. I'll do a test cut and then try and weed and it will not weed. If I bump up the pressure to 35(the next step), I can weed it but it's cutting into the paper way too deep. I can try swapping my cutting strip but I don't...
  19. New Blade, Bad Cuts

    I've had an issue going on for what literally seems like forever and wanted to see if any one has any advice. I always have issues every time I swap my plotter blade to a brand new blade. I have a Mimaki CG-100SR III. I use the brand new Mimaki SPB-0030 blades and am mostly cutting Oracal 751...

    I've had that same problem. I just make sure that before I print that this stretching won't give me any major issues by adjusting the graphics to make up for the stretching.
